Grade 3 Coding & Robotics Term 4 — Lesson Plans and Worksheets

Grade 3 Coding & Robotics Term 4 provides 10 structured, CAPS-aligned unplugged lesson plans that consolidate the year’s coding and robotics skills at an integrated application level.

The term focuses on robot code, robot types and components, planning, testing, debugging, evaluation, symbolic patterns, technology over time, coded messages, Input–Process–Output (IPO), ICT systems, loops, simple IF–THEN decisions, robot artefact design, digital citizenship and problem solving under constraints. Learners compare solutions against purpose, correctness, clarity and efficiency and apply the year’s core skills in integrated robot missions.

Unplugged: the lessons are designed to be taught without computers, tablets or robotics kits. Practical, physical and paper-based activities make full Grade 3 Coding & Robotics consolidation accessible in ordinary Foundation Phase classrooms.
